mity of characteristics in all practically assures
us that in these individuals we have the normal, pure type of Negrito,
which may be used as a standard for comparison with other peoples.

The stature of these nine men and ten women arranged serially appears
below:

Men Women
1374 1266
1381 1292
1435 1305
1439 1326
1440 = mean 1341
1467 1375
1495 1385
1526 1396
1532 1400
1460

These figures give an extreme variation of 158 mm. for the men and
194 mm. for the women. The mean stature for men is 1440, the average
1454, and for the women 1341-1375 and 1354 respectively. These,
it scarcely need be said, are extremely low statures, perhaps as
low as have ever been recorded on any group of people. According to
Topinard's nomenclature they are all distinctly "pigmy."

In every individual the extreme reach of the arms ("grande envergure")
exceeded the stature. In the men the excess varied from 30 mm. to
139 mm. and in the women from 23 mm. to 102 mm. This measurement
shows the Negritos to have unusually long arms. In yellow races the
arm-reach is about equal to the stature, and in the white race it is
usually a little above. I think we may take this excessive reach of
arms to be a truly Negrito character.

The cephalic and nasal indices for both men and women are next given:

Topinard's nomenclature for cephalic index is as follows:

Long heads (dolichocephalic) 74 and below
Medium heads (mesaticephalic) 75 to 79
Broad or round heads (brachycephalic) 80 to 90

Thus with two exceptions our Negritos are decidedly
